Hey Whistler, your in luck. I actually have a few pictures of it that appeared in SAM. However, I can only find one installation picture of it right now, but I'm sure I have the rest that show what the cars looked like. I'll look for them tomorrow.

What years did this tram operate?

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

Number of downloads: 45Yes one is currently in operation that runs from the Mirage to Treasure island, (It's green and looks kinda like a street cable car) and one that runs from the Bellagio to monte Carlo (it's operational status is hard to figure out. It has been closed for two years because of construction at Bellagio, and there are conflicting reports about if it will re-open or not.) The one at Bellagio actually looks nice. The one at Mammoth their looks pretty ugly, thanks for finding the pics skibachelor!

Here's a pic of The Bellagio/Monte Carlo tram that YAN built, same color as the Mammoth one!

The past couple times I was in Vegas (2 years ago) the one from Monte Carlo to Bellagio was running. So was the Treasure Island / Mirage one as well.

Vegas sure is a mishmash of transit stuff...

Mandalay Bay (DCC)
Belagio (Yantrak)
Monte Carlo (Yantrak)
Vegas Monorail (Bombardier)
